Funny thing – as more women musicians are being asked to listicle their favorite pieces, more works by women are being noted and gaining some much deserved attention. Take, for example, the recent article in The Guardian by saxophonist Jess Gillam who includes in her top five classical pieces Nocturne by Dobrinka Tabakova, as well as Night Ferry by Anna Clyne.

Also in The Guardian is an editorial by Harriet Harman on why she championed programming a season at Trinity Laban Conservatoire with fully half of the composers being women.

Kendra Leonard writes at NewMusicBox about the ways in which silent films are being re-scored by contemporary musicians and how the musical score changes the interpretation of the on screen action.
